Of course!

What time of day do you eat pancakes? Sometimes I'll feel like having breakfast for dinner and fixing myself eggs or pancakes for my evening meal, but it's still considered a breakfast food item.

Me and my family eat pancakes for dinner. But the pancakes we make are different from US pancakes. Ours are more like crepes, just not quite as yummy. :( (I want to buy a heating plate for crepes so badly, but that shit is expensive as hell. Not to mention huge and unwieldy. But making them in a frying pan is just not the same.)

Which does remind me, would you happen to have a recipe for American-style pancakes? I had some when I was in Japan and they were really tasty!

Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Two)

Ah, does that mean you eat them with fillings or toppings? Our breakfast pancakes can be eaten plain, with just syrup or butter, or with mix-ins/toppings.

Sure, this is the recipe I've used all my life from Betty Crocker -

1 egg
1 cup flour
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Beat all ingredients together. Spray griddle or frying pan with cooking spray and heat to medium (or 375 degrees, if using a griddle). Pour batter for whatever size/type pancake, let cook until edges begin to dry and bubbles appear on top, then flip and cook that side. Ta da! Pancakes. Top with butter or syrup of choice (or both).

A few variations - again, mixing stuff into the batter and then cooking is popular. Blueberries are one of the more popular things to add, but I love chocolate chips because I never stopped being eleven years old. Some people add stuff on top when they're done cooking, like strawberries and whipped cream or sliced bananas.

For buttermilk pancakes, swap one cup of buttermilk for the 3/4 cup milk and add an additional 1/2 tsp baking powder.

For a "healthier" option, swap out the flour for whole wheat flour.

Autumn's coming up, which means people will be adding pumpkin to just about everything - including pancakes. Pumpkin chocolate chip and walnut pancakes are the best.

And now I crave pancakes and I've already eaten dinner. Ffff...

Pardon me randomly jumping into this conversation, but here's my pancake recipe. Units are in cups and teaspoons; I don't know what units you typically use, but you can probably find conversions on the internet.

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

-Stir together dry ingredients.
-Add milk, beaten egg, and oil.
-Heat griddle or skillet to medium heat and grease with a little butter.
-Pour or spoon about 1/4 cup (two or three spoonfuls) of batter onto hot griddle; let cook until the bottom of the pancake "sets" and bubbles start to form on top, then flip over with a pancake turner. Let cook until pancake is cooked through. Re-butter the griddle as needed to keep pancakes from sticking or burning.

Serve warm with your choice of butter, syrup, or fruit.

You can also do butter and instead of syrup, sprinkle some brown sugar between the cakes as you stack them on the plate - a little 'drier', but very tasty.

Some people use jam instead of syrup, too, or add a syrupy fruit sort of 'compote', like apples or strawberries in place of plain syrup. (Or with, but that's too sweet for me.)

If you look for a recipe for Scotch pancakes or drop scones, you'll find recipes in normal-looking units that use typical British ingredients that are basically American pancakes.

For lunch! We don't have such heavy food for dinner. Okay, I don't get big dinners at all, really. Lunches should be the latest you eat so much in a day. xD No wonder there are so many obese people in USA.
